about

In his new single, “Ignition,” Lil Guillotine takes up ideas popularized by the uprisings of 2020. On the chopping block are whiteness, its social and cultural positionality in relation to Blackness and abolition of police. He takes these up while attempting to inspire individuals to action to achieve the aspirations of the movement that was brought to life by an immediate need to defend Black lives from state sanctioned violence and culminated in the largest uprisings this country has seen, by some metrics, ever.

lyrics

****Chorus****
Fire to the prisons
fire to the jails
fire to the judges who be settin all these bails
Fire to the squad car
Fire in our minds
Fire to the quo that is status all the time

****Verse 1****

Damn, well, they up on that cop shit, they got it from the start its
Hands, down its a part of tactic, they taught it to the toddles
And those who be drinking on bottles
that 12 aint a dud they are idols

man, well, we ain’t never bought that, our thought is that abolish
stand, tall, we are gonna fight back, The prison we demolish
defunding the cops is a project
but we don’t just stop at that prospect

Plan, well, we are gonna drop them, we gotta start insurgence
Channel, comrade kroptkin, be plottin and divergent
status quo logic is ho hum
we gotta plan to win freedom

burn, down, every single cop cars, now carry on and topple
Your down, town then get the top dogs, upturning it full throttle
a system of antiblack logic
The corpse upon which we will frolic

****Verse 2****

Caught up in a big lie, like colluding president
welcome to region where racisms prevalent
Where hunger’s as common as cops with no evidence
A country who blame It on all the non residents
or melanin having people with non white elements
that’s relevant

Implicated like a tekashi acquaintance
inextricably tied to the racial imbibed social relations
Can’t help it, like police investigations
the white man is stationed to leech on black greatness

im steady here for the revolution
Overturn this shit, like Trump did to laws against water pollution
I want to smash whiteness and leave it in ruins
Like tariffs and Leninists did to the Cubans

a wannabe cultural movement progenitor
Abolish the cops and the senators
decolonize minds through the words that I said in here
jus like nat turner, put bigotted Karens and kens in fear
